REBORN WITH A REVENGE SYSTEM

008

Some with weapons. All were wearing black suits, black eye glasses and wireless earphones placed in their ear.

“I told you Scott, now you've seen for yourself”

After that, they went to a Cafe. after a little walk down. They all sat around a table cooling off when Scott stood.

“I'll be back mom and Richard”, he said, leaving them in the cafe as he took his leave.

He boarded a cab heading to the restaurant he first entered after gaining an unknown super powerful system.

Moving along the decorated roads with digital billboards all over the walls, videos were displayed on the wall screen. 

The digital billboard is an electronic screen that appears on the screen through an electronic means. It is mostly found in a city with great advancement in technology.

Suddenly, Scott saw a company 

advertising a newly released car.

“Wow!. This is absolutely amazing”, he whispered.

He saw the cab driver looking at the same car advert on the wall, and he smiled.

“Did you have any idea of the cost of that car?” he asked the driver.

The driver laughed instantly.

“Why are you laughing over what I said”

“Sir I don't think you can  purchase that car” 

“Why? Is it yet to be released?”

“Anyways, it was released about four days ago. That's the reason the advertisements are all over the city's wall.”

“But only celebrities can make their way into the company. Not because of their personality as celebrities, but their worth. Most of them are billionaires and millionaires.”

“Oh I see. That's the reason you said I can't go in, right?”

“Yes sir”

“Slow down a little, let me take a good glance at the company” Scott ordered the driver.

“Did you really want to go in there”?, the driver asked. Scott senses honesty in him.

Scott smiled, he was already staring at Scott with amazing eyes full of curiosity.

“Maybe yes”

Although Scott was meeting him for the first time, he had already seen him as a humble, gentle and honest person from his look and words.

“Can I know your name please?”, Scott asked.

“I'm Spike, I live in Kira in Cape City”

He's 29 years old, a young man, with blonde hair, his blue eyes always looking calm and calculative.

“That's amazing. What do you do for a living, as a job?” Scott asked.

“Sir this is what I do for a living struggling everyday just to put food on the table for my wife and my two kids.”.

He stopped the car as he paid more attention listening to Scott at the edge of the company's gate.

“You're lucky, you're  married with kids”

“Yes Sir”.

“Please address me as Scott”

“Alright Scott, nice meeting you”

They both exchange handshakes as Scott tries to move outside the car.

“I believe you're an expert driver with many years of experience”, Scott asked.

At first, Spike became confused why all these questions, digging deep into his private life.

“Why ask all these questions?” Spike asked.

“I'm just asking to know more about you”

“But it's my privacy Mr. Scott”

“Yes I know, but give me a chance”

Spike on the other hand nodded in agreement after seeing his expression. He was somehow reliable in his eyes and serious. He then spoke out.

“I've been driving for five years in this city”

“Wow!. You must have made a lot of money from this business man. Five years isn't five days Spike”

Spike smiled as he felt the conversation interesting, Scott's questions were also filled with funny speeches.

“So how much do you make from this, maybe monthly or yearly bases?”

“I made over $100-200 monthly. Sometimes $50-100” Spike said.

“Really?. Don't you think that's too poor 

“I have no other choice than to do it Scott.”

“Along the way, I've had a series of challenges than what you think I got as the income from this business Scott”,  he said as he folded his arm laying back on his car.

“Since I don't have any other job, I'm sticking to this. Maybe someday I'll be rich like those celebrities I admire.”

Scott senses his willingness to serve as an obedient and humble person irrespective of his age. He then tapped his shoulder.

“Your dreams might come true if you take some risk and work towards it.”

Spike looked at him hearing his statement.

“Yes!”. It's possible”

“Did you say risk?”, he asked.

“Yes of course. But not the normal risk you think Spike”

“Then what kind of risk are you talking about”?, Spike asked.

“I'll let you know that later but not far away from now”.

Spike became confused, he couldn't understand what these words portrayed but he remained calm despite all.

“Do me a favour Spike, Come with me. This company's products is fascinating, I need to take some look”

“Did you want to purchase a product?” Spike asked. Because he was heading straight but now trying to enter a classic company he knows nothing about.

“Not really.  I don't think I'm gonna purchase any product, besides you said it's for millionaires and billionaires. So let's get in.”

They both approached the Company's gate, two security guards were standing looking at them as they moved closer. Seeing them trekking in, one of the security whispered.

“Where are those guys thinking they're going to?”

“I'd love to see that too”. The second security muttered.

Spike feet became weak as they approached the guards. They were not smiling, he had never planned to go there. But Scott insisted he must come with him, knowing his net worth, he abstained from such classic and luxurious places.

“What do you both want?”. One of the security said, looking at Scott.

“I need a car. I was passing and I saw the company's products advert on the digital billboards, and I'm interested”

The security laughed so hard that Spike felt upset. Scott noticed Spike and tried to calm him.

“Why laugh at a client?” Scott asked, still maintaining his steeze as a humble man he is.

“Did I just hear you say a client?”.

“Dressing like a hawker and you both are calling yourself a client?”.

“Wait!. Is that old scrap car you both brought here to get a new one?”. The second security asked as he pin pointed his fingers against their car on the other side of the road.

“Yes!”. Scott answered.

They both laugh this time sitting on their chairs. The senior security then stood as he approached Scott.

“You both have to leave here now, or you'll be jailed. Read my lips.

“You will be jailed….”

Spike became angry and tried to react but Scott held him.

“Be still,” he whispered.

Scott looked up and saw the advertisement still on. Beside the advert, there was a customer hot-line number. He dialed it immediately.

“Hello who's on the line…” a woman voice behind the call muttered.

“I'm Scott and I saw the company's advert so I'm interested in purchasing a product”

“Nice to have you Mr. Scott you can move in and asked the security for directions to the help desk”

“But we're trapped by the security you mentioned. We're not granted access to come in. Please come to our aid”

“W-what! securities stopped you?. Please I'm sorry but I'm coming right away”.

The voice said as he hung up the call.
